Donauworth and back!
A Long Day 53 miles but only advanced 6 miles! Left Donauworth at 10a.m. cycling in sweltering temperatures, steep hills and pushing at times. Turned back at 3p.m when we realised we were on wrong route. Found fountain to cool down and drinking tap, refilled bottles. Passed Donauworth again at 5p.m and continued until about 7p.m. but no campsite. Local farm was having annual village beer festival and meal in marquee with trestle tables and allowed us to camp and eat! One of the best meals. In the morning everyone had gone and we hadn't heard them leave as we were so tired. Mary Celeste!
